No more Rookies vs. Sophomores. Now Rooks/Sophs vs. Rooks/Sophs

[|A-Man|]

Of all things to change

I bet neither SHaq or CHuck know who most of those dudes are.

Clearly you've never watched an All-Star Weekend. They rarely change anything.

Guess I'm the only one that loves this idea (Would've been better for the Sunday game). All-Star weekend needs some tweaks.

 

[ohyeah10]

should have had it rookie/sophomore east vs. west or something. i dont really like the idea of just drafting random players

 

[weaponry expert]

Was perfect as is.

What was wrong with the top rookies vs the top sophomores?

 

[hood17]

just let chuck coach the game with a mic please

 

[coolnclutch]

I like it...I don't get the hate. You're still gonna see highlight dunks, it just might be more competitive now. All Star Weekend needs some new changes, this is worth the try. What's the worst that can happen? 

 

[newbuck]

Change it to rookie all-stars/d-league all-stars. Been saying this for years. Who gives a damn about "sophomores".

 

[gaseousfashion]

I will wait to past judgement.

Maybe the game will be more competitive now.

right, but we're really going to care about D Leaguers

 

[asianplayer]

Liked it the other way, but not that big of a deal IMO.

 

[wcghost]

this overall weak draft class ruined it for all the future rookie vs. soph games.

 

[Bert.]

meh shouldnt have changed it, still will be a good game.

BTW this is the only event i bother watching

NEW YORK -- All-Star Blake Griffin and rookie guards Kyrie Irving and Ricky Rubio headline the list of 18 players chosen for the Rising Stars Challenge to be held during All-Star Weekend.

In this year's new format, first- and second-year players will be mixed in the Feb. 24 game in Orlando. TNT analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal will serve as general managers and draft players for their teams.

Other second-year players chosen Wednesday were John Wall (Washington), DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento), Landry Fields (New York), Paul George (Indiana), Gordon Hayward (Utah), Greg Monroe (Detroit), Tiago Splitter (San Antonio) and Evan Turner (Philadelphia).

The rookies joining No. 1 pick Irving and Rubio are Kemba Walker (Charlotte), MarShon Brooks (New Jersey), Brandon Knight (Detroit), Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio), Markieff Morris (Phoenix), Tristan Thompson (Cleveland) and Derrick Williams (Minnesota).
